Wetherby Sametegal

Horse racing - Wetherby - 03 Nov 14:35

The second of two listed races at Wetherby today is this handicap chase run over two miles, three and a half furlongs.
Royal Vacation is a (fortunate) grade one winner from last season, but also bolted up in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham. However, he may need this and is high in the weights.
I'm going to have to go with the favourite SAMETEGAL for the in-form Paul Nicholls, who also has the favourite in the previous race.

This eight-year-old can run hot and cold but absolutely strolled in at Newbury when we last saw him in the grade three Greatwood Handicap.
That was a far better race than this on paper and the selection gets here off of only a pound higher.
Furthermore, he is unbeaten first-time-out for Paul Nicholls in three starts, so the huge gap between runs may not be too much of a hindrance after all.
Finally, he was a listed hurdle winner here as a juvenile in 2012, so you know he goes well at the track. So, other than the long break, there aren't many negatives about this one, and for that reason I'm going all in.
